Sent. I'm glad now that the subtexts were shifted, "the ineffectiveness of nonviolent protest" would have been too easy for Under the Skin. But as it turns out, it totally is about how the US government was behind the crack cocaine epidemic.

I just noticed too, the one in the OP is missing a letter, it's goonsubtextgame@gmail I'm guessing.

Oh snap. I guess there was a reason it all felt so right when I was writing. Thanks to everyone that put in the effort, it seems neither my submitted movie nor topic were written on, oh well. Props to Hbomberguy for taking a more imaginative approach to his topic where I went the literal route, butVROOM VROOM posted:as it turns out, [Under the Skin] totally is about how the US government was behind the crack cocaine epidemic.

axleblaze posted:If you want to know what I thought of your individual essays, just ask. I think it's only appropriate to ask about mine, given your avatar. My thoughts: argumentation is solid but leans a lot on the assumption that the reader has seen the film, with lots of ambiguous (as in, having multiple possible readings) language meant to apply both to the film and the topic, as well as implied references to specific shots. (I knew I wanted to include one screenshot at the end - the motorcyclist staring out over the snow was a close second, but the final shot was too perfect in how it closed out both the film and the essay) How many of you guys had seen it?
